RE: connect to a network db, and log on account - XP
Are you in an NT/2000 Domain Environment? If so, you need to create an account in the domain and set the CF services to use that when they startup then configure that account to have read permissions on the resource you're trying to access on the domain. When CF is running it's running as it were this user account, to verify it can access the Db login as this new user and try and open the Db. In a non domain environment you'd need to create a local user on both the CF server and the resource provider - both username's and passwords need to match on both servers, configure the new account to have read permission on the Db and it should work just fine.

RE: QofQ problem -closing in on the problem..
Ok I've narrowed the problem down a little.The error is generated by having non-numeric information in the 'postcode' field.(It's a varchar field in the database so there's no problem with that I think).I don't think we need to have the postcode restricted to numeric data at source - what if someone wants to put 'N/A' in the postcode field? Anyway, there are several queries on different tables and datasources, and the resulting queries are merged into one temporary query to be processed with a QofQ.The query is created with the following: [quote] cfset thislist = Querynew(email, firstname, lastname, StreetAddress, Suburb, Postcode, source, newsletter, emailsent) [/quote] Why would this query hiccup if non-numeric info is put into the 'postcode' field in the query?I thought ColdFusion was typeless?I would have thought a queryofquery wouldn't care if there was numericdata in the 'postcode' field or not.

I don't even know what I need to be able to do this...[fdf/cf]
Here are the basic requirements: They (client) have a couple of hundred forms in PDF format that they want *their* clients to be able to fill out and submit. We have CF sitting on their server. On their (client's) end, they want to be able to save the same PDF form, but filled out, on their end. Likely scenario: The Client's client: I log in, click on a form, the PDF loads, I fill out the PDF, click a button on the PDF, some CF happens that I don't see. A thank you page is displayed, and I go about my business. (Upside, no form validation, they're going to be going over each form themselves on the back end) The Client: Some notification (Hey, a PDF was filled out!), log in to a back end, see a list of forms submitted, date submitted maybe, and by whom (based on above's loginID). Click on a link to the latest entry, the PDF loads (?) and it's filled in with the information from the previous submission (?), I click save (I have Acrobat Pro on my end, I'm The Client.) and it saves it maybe with the date/time added to the end of the file name... Now, I know about 50% of that, but I'm willing to jump in the direction of any CF based way of accomplishing that very scenario. Oh, and it's hosted on Crystal Tech, who (rightfully so) informed us that loading an application would require us to be on our own dedicated server (so, no beef there, legit, I get it and it just gives me my design parameters, I'm anything if not flexible and understanding), but a .dll could be done, so keep that in mind. Also, these forms are insurance-related, so they'll contain stuff like SSNs and other assorted goodies, so simply emailing them won't really work (unless encryption can be worked into that scenario). I was hoping to be able to write all this to happen behind an https://, to take care of that concern. Now, notice that, if the PDF was a form, it'd be an easy exercise, but I'm just not sure about the whole, inserting stuff into a PDF from a CFQUERY tag thing. But again, eager beaver... So my question, I guess is, how best to accomplish this, with the tools I've got? We can explore getting some possibly sub-grand cost PDF/FDF .dll stuff to assist, but can this be done with CF or running on a CF server?

RE: I don't even know what I need to be able to do this...[fdf/cf]
Jeff, FDF files are just simple text files that are very easy to create with CF. Here's an example: cfoutput%FDF-1.2 % 1 0 obj /FDF /Fields [ /T(issuedate) /V(#dateformat(rs.cert_issue_dt,mm/dd/)# ) ] /F(http://#cgi.HTTP_HOST#/files/certificate.pdf) endobj trailer /Root 1 0 R %%EOF/cfoutput Just keep repeating the /T command which is the text box name in the pdf form and the /V command which is the value you want inserted. The /F command needs to point to the parent pdf file.I believe that Acrobat (not reader) will actually make the fdf file for you and then you'd just need to edit the file.On caveat, don't edit the file with notepad.Notepad doesn't correctly render the CR after the first line %FDF-1.2. I serve these on the fly using the cfcontent tag and so far, this has been a painless endeavor. -- Marlon Moyer, Sr. Internet Developer American Contractors Insurance Group phone: 972.687.9445 fax: 972.687.0607 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.acig.com -Original Message- From: Jeff Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 8:43 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: I don't even know what I need to be able to do this...[fdf/cf] [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: ColdFusion TechNote Notification: ColdFusion MX: Returning large character data record sets causes server instability and Out of Memory e rrors
MM did have an internal rewrite on certain URLs but this may have been removed or just not known. To bring this over to a technical topic, this is why I reject the use of UUIDs as unique identifiers for data. A sequential number may get large (10) but it is almost always shorter than a UUID and better looking. They need to do something internally for this, it isn't a good idea PR-wise for a company that large to use an outside service for something so simple.

Re: I don't even know what I need to be able to do this...[fdf/cf]
- Original Message - From: Marlon Moyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 10:27 AM Subject: RE: I don't even know what I need to be able to do this...[fdf/cf] Jeff, FDF files are just simple text files that are very easy to create with CF. Here's an example: [snip example] Just keep repeating the /T command which is the text box name in the pdf form and the /V command which is the value you want inserted. The /F command needs to point to the parent pdf file.I believe that Acrobat (not reader) will actually make the fdf file for you and then you'd just need to edit the file.On caveat, don't edit the file with notepad. Notepad doesn't correctly render the CR after the first line %FDF-1.2. I serve these on the fly using the cfcontent tag and so far, this has been a painless endeavor. Okay, so lemme get this straight. I could have the PDF data submitted to a CF page that could process it and enter it into a database table. Then, a CFQUERY tag could generate output that could be saved as an FDF, then point it to a Parent PDF File? How does the end user (the client) see the PDF File? Does she click on a CF link that does all the work? So she clicks on CreatePDF.cfm or whatever, and the result, is that a populated PDF form opens in her browser window? And if she has Acrobat Pro, she can just save it? Am I understanding it all? [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Hello, Have 3 tables. equities equityID symbol keywords keywordID keyword keyword_equity_join keID equityID keywordID The user selects from a dropdown list a keyword The user may then add another dropdown list to select another keyword. The user may add as many dropdown list as he or she wants. When the user clicks on the submit button I have a list of keywords. If the keywords happen to be: technology, consulting. I want the query to return only the symbols that have both technology and consulting as associated keywords. So far this is what I have (doing it in Query Analyzer before writing the code). select e.symbol, kej.keywordID, e.equityID from equities as e, keyword_equity_join as kej where e.equityID = kej.equityID and kej.keywordID in ( select k.keywordID from keywords k where (keyword = 'technology' OR keyword = 'consulting') ) select k.keywordID from keywords k where (keyword = 'technology' OR keyword = 'consulting') This returns the keywordID for the two keywords. select e.symbol, kej.keywordID, e.equityID from equities as e, keyword_equity_join as kej where e.equityID = kej.equityID and kej.keywordID in ( This returns all the symbols that are associated with either keywords.

Question about Licensing my CF Web Application
Hi all, I have developed a web application and have found a company that is wanting an exclusive license to manage, market, and sell subscriptions to my web application for me.I'm comfortable with the arrangement, but I'm unsure as to what to charge as a license fee. I have gotten them to agree to allow me to earn a royalty based on a percentage of the revenue they charge for each subscription.The number that has been thrown out is 30%.So for example, if they sell a subscription for $10 per month, I get $3 per month and they get the rest. I do not have to put up any money.I will be continuing to develop and enhance the application as well as supporting it technically.However, I will not be providing END USER support.I will provide support to the company that is marketing it.They will deal with the end users. I will also make myself available to customize the application for any of their customers, however, I'm sure they will charge extra for this, so in essence, I will get extra since I would get 30% of the revenue. My questions are as follows: 1.Is 30% a fair amount?What's the standard? 2.Does it sound like a good deal to you?Is there anything I should be asking for that I haven't mentioned? 3.Any other comments/suggestions? Thanks for your input.I welcome it.This is the first time I've had the privelege to do this, so I'm very excited, but want to be sure I do it the right way.

Thanks for your input Peter.This is not an input problem.Yes, they need to do better data validation and that's another task I'm going to suggest they need to do, but this is about queries notinput. I have 3 queries on SQLServer tables, and one on a Excel spreadsheet, each containing a field called Postcode which is a varchar field in the SQLServer, and has mostly numbers and some letters in the spreadsheet. I am combining the four queries by looping over them and writing the output to a query built by CFMX.Then I'm doing a query of a query to de-duplicate the records, and sort them. That's where the application gives an error when it encounters a postcode field with non-numeric content. I can't see why that should matter. I'm not doing math on the field, I'm not sorting on it.It's just a field, like name, suburb, country, email address .. all the others.I cant see why it matters whether the contents of the Postcode field are numbers or letters or dancing pigeons.

RE: Question about Licensing my CF Web Application
Kenneth, 1 - There is nothing up front - this is a risk on my part as well, however, I developed the application for my own use within my own company, and so I never expected to have an opportunity to license it and sell subscriptions to it.I don't have the time, nor the desire, to do all the marketing, let alone end user support, so I'm pretty okay without getting anything up front as long as I'm getting a fair deal on the percentage. 2 - no hourly pay - I'm agreeing to keep the software up to date as part of the agreement, however, it would be for a specific period of time, not indefinitely. 3 - 30% on All Revenue of the company, period.so that would include any customization charges they pass on to their customer (or an increase in monthly subscription rate for that customization for example).

RE: Question about Licensing my CF Web Application
I would suggest making sure you legally define what Support means very explicitly so it's not left up to them to define how much of your time is invested on an ongoing basis. Likewise, you might want to specify a minimum hourly rate for customization work so you can ensure that your 30% makes it worth the effort.

I could have the PDF data submitted to a CF page that could process it and enter it into a database table. Then, a CFQUERY tag could generate output that could be saved as an FDF. I've never processed the acrobat form data, but from what I understand, they're just standard form fields How does the end user (the client) see the PDF File? Does she click on a CF link that does all the work? So she clicks on CreatePDF.cfm or whatever, and the result, is that a populated PDF form opens in her browser window? The client could see a link to a prepopulated fdf file, or they could see a link to cfm template that serves up the fdf file via cfcontent. Inside the fdf file is a link pointing back to the pdf file. And if she has Acrobat Pro, she can just save it? You can save the FDF file which when clicked will open acrobat and populate the remote pdf form with data.I don't know if you can save the pdf file with the data stored in it or not.I don't have acrobat here to test it.

RE: Question about Licensing my CF Web Application
You also need to get the term revenue defined.Generally, it is accepted to mean gross sales, but not always.As a matter of fact, I've been told that the US Accounting Standards defines revenue as commission on sales. A good example is that in the US: revenue = gross sales profit = gross sales - expenses But in the UK: turnover = gross sales revenue = gross sales - expenses This can be a BIG difference.I would think that a lawyer would bring this point up, but you never know. -Original Message- From: Dave Phillips [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 11:26 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Question about Licensing my CF Web Application Kenneth, 1 - There is nothing up front - this is a risk on my part as well, however, I developed the application for my own use within my own company, and so I never expected to have an opportunity to license it and sell subscriptions to it.I don't have the time, nor the desire, to do all the marketing, let alone end user support, so I'm pretty okay without getting anything up front as long as I'm getting a fair deal on the percentage. 2 - no hourly pay - I'm agreeing to keep the software up to date as part of the agreement, however, it would be for a specific period of time, not indefinitely. 3 - 30% on All Revenue of the company, period.so that would include any customization charges they pass on to their customer (or an increase in monthly subscription rate for that customization for example).

Re: need function available for CF and JS
You can't use a CF function in JS. Different syntax You have to duplicate it (and adapt it to JS). that's not exactly what I meant.I meant to call the js function from cf, but others have told me that this isn't doable or practicle.Really I just wanted the js alerts. Still, duplicating the cf function in js is almost a drop'n'play.Since it's written in an ecma like script, all I really need to do is to change the EQ to == (and such) and adjust the names of any api calls - createDateTime() becomes Date(). thanks for answering Pascal, Dave and everyone.

Subject: Re: need function available for CF and JS
You can't use a CF function in JS. Different syntax You have to
duplicate it (and adapt it to JS).
that's not exactly what I meant.I meant to call the js function from cf, but others have told me that this isn't doable or practicle.Really I just
wanted the js alerts.
Still, duplicating the cf function in js is almost a drop'n'play.Since it's written in an ecma like script, all I really need to do is to change the EQ to
== (and such) and adjust the names of any api calls - createDateTime() becomes Date().
thanks for answering Pascal, Dave and everyone.

Re: Question about Licensing my CF Web Application
I would want to put caps on the amount of support you have to provide (for free), even if it is as 160 hours a month.I would also want a cap on the amount of new development you are required to do the application. They want exclusive licensing rights which means you can't license this to anyone else.I would ask for 50% of all gross revenues. Realistically, though, in a book contract or music recording contract you'd be lucky to get 15% of gross revenues; however both of those contracts offer an advance.If you're not getting one there is nothing wrong w/ asking for more. When the agreement ends, make sure the code transfers back to you and they have no rights to re-license, etc.. If you have a 1 year contract, what happens when they go out of business in 3 months?Do you have the right to audit their books?I'd ask for it.It'd only be worth the expense if they were selling millions of subscriptions. As always, have a lawyer read over all documents.The person who said a notary public should witness the document signing has a very good point.

RE: IsDefined(Array[element])
Arrays are designed for sequential storage, with every item having a value.
If you're going to have holes, you might consider a struct that just happens
to have numeric keys.Then you can use structKeyExists.
Short of that, I think you'd probably have to dereference the array index in
a CFTRY..CFCATCH block, catch the error, and react to that.Wrap it in a
function named 'isArrayElementDefined' or something, and you should be set.
